Add SSL/TLS Support for an HTTP Connection

Edit online

This scenario builds on the Basic HTTP Configuration by enabling security for the inbound and outbound nodes you defined in the netmap. Following is a diagram to illustrate the addition of SSL or TLS to the inbound and the outbound node connections.

Note: Before you configure SSL or TLS support, you must check in your certificates. Refer to Manage Certificates for SSL/TLS Transactions with Trading Partners.

To add SSL/TLS support to the netmap for the inbound and outbound nodes, define the following options for the connections:

Protocol
Cipher suites
Stores and certificates

To effectively configure and test this scenario:

Add SSL/TLS support to the inbound node definition first and establish a session initiated by an HTTP client to an Sterling B2B Integrator server.
Then, add SSL/TLS support to the outbound node definition and establish a session initiated by an HTTP client to an Sterling B2B Integrator server.

SSL/TLS Support for HTTP Worksheet

Before you add SSL/TLS support to the connection information you created in the Basic HTTP Configuration scenario, gather the information on the SSL/TLS Support Worksheet. You use this information as you configure the inbound and outbound nodes for SSL/TLS support.

In the Advance tab, enable Secure Connection to enable the use of an SSL or TLS protocol to ensure that data is secured as it is transmitted across a single socket. SSL Configuration drop-down filed helps you choose the SSL.
